Right to Delete

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions (the “right to delete”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity, we will review your request to see if an exception allowing us to retain the information applies.

Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the contact of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or to prosecute those responsible for such activities.

Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
Comply with a legal obligation.
Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

We will delete or deidentify personal information not subject to one of these exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers to take similar action.

Exercising Your Right to Know or Delete

To exercise your right to know or delete, please email us at operations@bespokelawfirm.com or call 212-664-1600.

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or delete related to your personal information.

You may only submit a request to know twice within a 12-month period. Your request to know or delete my provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected persona information or an authorized representative of that person. You must also describe your request with enough detail that we can properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We can’t respond to your request or provide you personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.

We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make it.

Any disclosures will only cover the 12-month period preceding receipt of your request. The response will explain the reasons we cannot comply with the request (if applicable). For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another without hinderance.

If you are age 16 or younger, you have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time (the “right to opt-out”).
